Okay, party will approach camp. Cronk say, "Greetings, fellow travelers. Cronk is Cronk's name. Cronk and friends were wondering if this is indeed the correct road to Tanco. Is this the road to Tanco?"

Cronk think party should just introduce party's selves and ask if party on correct path. What do friends think?

Don't know what that is but since it doesn't look like a Battle Ant, I'm fine with fighting it.

Cronk already say left. If left not take Friends where friends want go, party will come back and take path to right. Do not worry. For big decisions, Cronk will ask for input. Like when fleeing from ants. For now party will take road less traveled by. Cronk want see if it make difference.

Party will try left path. With no other information Cronk feels this pretty much coin flip.

Ice bombs! Cronk gives one bomb each to Glorfindel and Gligin. Shovel can go to Aragon. Cronk will keep pointy stick for now. Never know when a pointy stick will come in handy.

Many thanks, friend chicken farmer. Cronk and friends really appreciate hospitality and kindness chicken farmer has shown friends. Cronk give farmer big hug and ten of Cronk's gold before party leaves chicken farmer. Party was hasty last night and look where that got party. Friends will have quick look around village.

But friends, Ants not even get to Z yet... Cronk suppose party reached point of diminishing returns long ago. Cronk agrees that party should flee. If Friend Aragon want use Smoke Bomb, go ahead. Party flees immediately when bomb used, right? After party flees, Party will make way back to where chicken farmer man was.

Let's not get into a battle of the licenses. LOTR and HP are both awesome. Let's leave it at that. Time will tell how sales go if TLG decides to actually do The Hobbit/LOTR.

Can Etzel borrow your die?

Though ants are many, party still not too bad off. Cronk think party will wait at least a couple more rounds and see how battle stands then. Cronk need actually land hits on little ants. Cronk will bash Ant I from front row. Party order stay same.

Very nice, Hinck! I'm looking forward to all the wintery themed entries. Makes me want to go makes some hot chocolate.

And get ant guts all over Cronk's new sword?!

Congratulations to all the winners. The competition was particularly fierce this contest and I'm proud to have placed among such outstanding entries.

Cronk squishing ants as fast as Cronk can! Cronk only have two feet.

One fire bomb just not do enough. Maybe if more than one enemy in killing range with bomb, Tomas will toss bomb. Until then, Cronk know party can do this. Do not despair. Though Cronk worries Ants will run out of alphabet soon... Cronk will try bashing Battle Ant N from front row. Cronk will also stick to same party order Cronk has been using.

Cronk bash Battle Ant I from front row. Same battle order.

Ants getting annoying. Cronk bash Ant H from front row. Die, puny ant! Battle order remains the same.

Cronk bash Battle Ant F from front row. Cronk will again use same battle order.

Do not bother target last owl, friends. Cronk suggest target Ants. Cronk throw fire Bomb from back row. Order will be same as last round. Is good order.

Remember friends, Glorfindel is super effective against vermin and Gligan against flying. The Battle Ants should probably be taken out before spiders. Owls are the most dangerous since owls level 8 and hit hard. Cronk will bash Grey Owl from front row. Order is: Cronk Aragorn Glorfindel Gligan Tomas

Happy Birthday, Rick!

Get better soon, Fangy!

Onwards, friends. Cronk thinks party is brave enough for dark path. Party will take path to Tanco.

Take it easy and recover, Bob. We'll be ready to continue when you are.
